BECOMING A POSSIBILITY THINKER BY SEGUN OYEDEPO

After the creation by God, in the beginning, the bible tells us that God used six (6) days to work the whole process of creating heaven, earth, and every other thing therein. As at that time, on the 7th day, we were told he rested.

 

History made us understand that there were a garden and a man that was managing the affairs of the garden. Read the Bible from Genesis chapter 1 vs 1 to know more about how God created the heaven and the earth. That is not the crux of the matter.

 

Everything we see today, inventions, platforms, orientation, and or we have a problem solved, it is as a result of “Possibility thinking”. After God created the world within six (6) days, I think what God actually did on the 7th day was to rest and release to man the power to create things that will make life easier for all his creatures. Today the world is gladly benefiting from Possibility Thinking.
